Literally reads a chain of infuriating events for all to see why one might be angry. "Didn't happen to meh". Expects others to interpret wilful ignorance as anything other than sheer stupidity at best, or blatant trolling at worst [slow clap]

Literally reads a chain of infuriating events for all to see why one might be angry. “Didn’t happen to meh”.

So why are they angry? What is happening to them, that isn't happening to me? Are they unable to request refunds? are they unable to buy Microsoft games outside of the Microsoft store? are they unable to buy the DRM free games from Steam?

They are pulling shit from years ago, despite me proving that Microsoft not only makes it easy to cancel, but they do refunds for unused days.

They hate Microsoft and Valve for not being able to "own your games", despite me showing that steam has plenty of DRM-free games, which doesn't require Steam or any authentication to play.

They are bringing up the past, despite Microsoft currently showing that they are dedicated to gaming, and providing a really good experience, as well as publishing their games on Steam instead of only their own store.

Why so angry? Why not look at the full picture, and judge based on current events? Microsoft may turn evil, and being skeptical is fine, but at what point are you beyond being skeptical?

Also, not sure why you gotta call me names. Have I called anyone else names this entire time? Can we just have a fucking discussion instead of turning into Reddit 2.0 with trolling and name calling? Jesus Christ.
